KVM: SVM: Implement pause loop exit logic in SVM

Bring the PLE(pause loop exit) logic to AMD svm driver.

While testing, we found this helping in situations where numerous
pauses are generated. Without these patches we could see continuos
VMEXITS due to pause interceptions. Tested it on AMD EPYC server with
boot parameter idle=poll on a VM with 32 vcpus to simulate extensive
pause behaviour. Here are VMEXITS in 10 seconds interval.

Pauses                  810199                  504
Total                   882184                  325415

+ * These 2 parameters are used to config the controls for Pause-Loop Exiting:
+ * pause_filter_count: On processors that support Pause filtering(indicated
+ *	by CPUID Fn8000_000A_EDX), the VMCB provides a 16 bit pause filter
+ *	count value. On VMRUN this value is loaded into an internal counter.
+ *	Each time a pause instruction is executed, this counter is decremented
+ *	until it reaches zero at which time a #VMEXIT is generated if pause
+ *	intercept is enabled. Refer to  AMD APM Vol 2 Section 15.14.4 Pause
+ *	Intercept Filtering for more details.
+ *	This also indicate if ple logic enabled.
+ *
+ * pause_filter_thresh: In addition, some processor families support advanced
+ *	pause filtering (indicated by CPUID Fn8000_000A_EDX) upper bound on
+ *	the amount of time a guest is allowed to execute in a pause loop.
+ *	In this mode, a 16-bit pause filter threshold field is added in the
+ *	VMCB. The threshold value is a cycle count that is used to reset the
+ *	pause counter. As with simple pause filtering, VMRUN loads the pause
+ *	count value from VMCB into an internal counter. Then, on each pause
+ *	instruction the hardware checks the elapsed number of cycles since
+ *	the most recent pause instruction against the pause filter threshold.
+ *	If the elapsed cycle count is greater than the pause filter threshold,
+ *	then the internal pause count is reloaded from the VMCB and execution
+ *	continues. If the elapsed cycle count is less than the pause filter
+ *	threshold, then the internal pause count is decremented. If the count
+ *	value is less than zero and PAUSE intercept is enabled, a #VMEXIT is
+ *	triggered. If advanced pause filtering is supported and pause filter
+ *	threshold field is set to zero, the filter will operate in the simpler,
+ *	count only mode.
